• Luke 158-10 8"Or what woman, having ten pieces
  of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light
  a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently
  until she find it?  9And when she hath found it,
  she calleth her friends and her neighbors
  together, saying, Rejoice with me, for I have
  found the piece which I had lost!' 10Likewise I
  say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the
  angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
